Abstract

Objective: Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is standard management for women with BRCA1/2 mutations; however, the role of concurrent hysterectomy (CH) remains controversial. Shu et al. published the largest study addressing endometrial cancer among BRCA carriers in 2016, suggesting an increased risk of serous uterine cancer in women with BRCA1 mutations. Currently, there is no official recommendation for CH with RRSO; however, many practitioners offer this combined procedure. We sought to review our institutional experience with RRSO and CH.
